Documented history

Ultra Naciente: the UD Las Palmas animation group since 1985

Ultra Naciente was born in 1985 in the Naciente stand of the Estadio Insular, the year of Las Palmas's promotion to Primera, as one of its founders recalled to Canarias7 in 2026. The stand had been called Naciente since the 1940s, and the group kept that name when it moved to the Estadio de Gran Canaria.

2010–2015: anniversaries and activities off the pitch

The group celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2010 with a five-a-side tournament at the Jesús Telo sports centre in La Isleta, and in December 2011 organised a toy collection next to the Naciente entrance before a match against Deportivo. In August 2015, with the team back in Primera, it published a statement to members and sympathisers celebrating its thirty years and announcing commemorative material.

2014–2015: risk group and leaving the stand

In December 2014, Ultra Naciente appeared together with Frente Blanquiazul on the list of potentially violent groups released after the Madrid Río brawl, according to La Provincia; that weekend it displayed a banner against violence. In February 2015, after being catalogued as a high-risk group, it announced that it was leaving the stand and would stop cheering because of police pressure. The Government delegate in the Canary Islands stated days later that its record was clean of violent acts.

2017–2020: tributes, protests and the derby

In November 2017 the club opened the stadium so that the group could pay tribute with a tifo to one of its deceased members, according to La Provincia. In April 2019 it asked in a statement that UD Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez step down. In January 2020 LaLiga reported chants against Tenerife and against a rival player sung by about 300 fans located in Ultra Naciente's sector during the Canary derby.

2023–2025: clashes and protests

In August 2025 around 50 members took part in a scuffle with Tenerife ultras at the Trofeo Teide, with no injuries or arrests, according to Antena 3. In October 2025 it left the stand in the 20th minute in protest at breathalyser checks.

2025–2026: proposed penalty and stadium redevelopment

On the same matchday in October 2025, ultras of the reserve team and of Alcalá fought in Siete Palmas, with two injured. In May 2026 Antiviolencia proposed twelve months without access to stadiums and a 5,000-euro fine for seven members of Ultra Naciente and four of Brigadas Alcalaínas, according to Canarias7; this is a proposal, not a final penalty. The redevelopment of the Estadio de Gran Canaria, begun in 2025, demolishes the Naciente stand to build a stand closer to the goal. In August 2026 the group presented the new season with a video, according to udlaspalmas.NET.
